The causes of schizophrenia have been the subject of much debate, with various factors proposed and discounted or modified. The language of schizophrenia research under the medical model is scientific. Such studies suggest that genetics , prenatal development, early environment, neurobiology and psychological and social processes are important contributory factors. Current psychiatric research into the development of the disorder is often based on a neurodevelopmental model (proponents of which see schizophrenia as a syndrome.) [1] [2] However, schizophrenia is diagnosed on the basis of symptom profiles . Neural correlates do not provide sufficiently useful criteria. [3] "Current research into schizophrenia has remained highly fragmented, much like the clinical presentation of the disease itself". [4] The one thing that researchers can agree on is that schizophrenia is a complicated and variable condition. It is best thought of as a syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that may or may not have related causes, rather than a single disease.
